When we talk about life-changing food!
At the end of 2022, Johanne told her partner that she would not be able to continue living in her current state (following an operation in 2003, she suffered from very disabling chronic gastric reflux with "consumption" of PPIs for more than 10 years). January 2023, she took charge of herself to experience a rebirth. Her essentials: Essential Fibers , the Friend , Aloe Juice, Metabzen & Gluconig , Complete & Collagen , our Cocoa , our fermented rice proteins , our salad .

Johanne's story through the testimonies she shared:
Here is Johanne's first testimony on January 10:
"I'm Johanne, a lover of life, looking for healing and optimal health. Here is my little story in a very brief summary: 10 years of PPIs have scrapped my digestive function (chronic reflux, dyspepsia, lakygut etc.). At the cost of great suffering, in 2016, I undertook a process to stop this medication and regain control over my health. Sprouting, raw food diet, green juice, kefir, homemade kombucha, keto diet etc. in short, I've experienced pretty much everything, I am by nature a being full of curiosity in addition to being an epicurean. My digestive health is still a little too bad but I don't give up, I'm a fighter. Every day is a challenge for me because eating can easily become synonymous with great pain. On January 1, 2023, I banned coffee and wine from my life, the last irritating "sweets" that I allowed myself. When I "met" Maison Jacynthe 10 years ago, I recognized myself in their philosophy and their approach to health. I decided to embark on the challenge and above all to do it 100% because I dream of finally being rid of this health problem which sometimes takes away the great joy of living that I feel. » - Johanne
And the rest on January 25:
"Here I go... This morning I woke up at 6:30 a.m. I can hardly believe what is happening in my body. My eyes are clouded with emotion. I wanted to wait before posting my testimony, but without exaggerating, I think I am experiencing nothing less than a rebirth! Today is a new day for me, it is unique and special, the first day of the rest of my life. I am very moved to tell you what follows, overwhelmed even, me who does not talk about my situation to anyone (only my partner knows what I am going through in depth). Background for those who have not read one of my first posts: following an operation in 2003, I suffer from chronic gastric reflux which is very disabling. After having "consumed" PPIs for more than 10 years, which relieved me for a while and then brought a lot of undesirable effects, including the one and not the least, of canceling the capacity of my stomach to produce hydrochloric acid, I weaned myself off them with difficulty over a period of several months in 2016. Replaced since then by famotidine and raditidine, both prescribed at the highest dose by my doctor and which I could not avoid at any dose at the cost of very bad acid reflux (for those who suffer from it you know what I am talking about) it only had a partial effect.
TADAM! Last night I decided not to take the medication because my stomach felt free and calm. For a few days now, in fact, I have felt that something, tenuous certainly, but positive, is happening in there. This very capricious stomach, which has not tolerated almost any food for a long time and which for so many years has strongly manifested its presence through intense pains of all kinds and with which I had learned to "live" (sic!), seems, recently, calmer, less capricious and turbulent than usual. First of all, the severe gastric torsion which had appeared sporadically for a few years and which for the past 6 months had settled in daily has almost completely disappeared for a week, leaving only a small cord of knots barely perceptible from time to time. Wow, strange I said to myself. Could this be the first sign that my dietary changes and the addition of Jacynthe's supplements are working? I've been doing the Jacinthe detox to the letter, all-in, thoroughly since January 1st, excluding however, lemon, ginger and turmeric, too intense for my loving stomach. A great wine lover, December 31st was the last time I drank it. I have since swapped this liquid of the Gods to replace it with the fountain of youth of our Goddess Jacynthe. I now appreciate it more than my old liquid. I also subtracted from this date, my two daily coffees from the fountain too and I am very happy about it, I don't miss coffee at all. I introduced salad 4 days ago. This salad scared me so much, because raw, my stomach (and my belly which also gets involved) does not usually manage it, and now it seems not to hate it, a little cooked preferably, here I am surprised and very happy because the Jacynthe salad is really a must and a delight. This morning, after a surprising and extremely rare superb good night's sleep (adding magnesium) I woke up realizing that nothing dramatic happened during the night even though I didn't take my weapon of war at bedtime (the antacid)! No pain, no reflux, nada! I've never experienced anything like this for years. Since 2005, I have NEVER skipped my daily doses of anti-reflux medication of any kind (nexium, dexilent, name it, I've taken almost all of them). NEVER, it was an impossibility, and despite that I still had burning in my epigastrium when lying horizontally!
Everything I have just told you confirms that there is hope in my journey of the last few years, marked by despair. And I had so much despair to sell because I was accumulating it! For so many years I have tried so many things that never worked, tried all the diets and eating styles without any tangible results and where I fell back into bad habits because I was so disgusted by the lack of results obtained. This is the first time I have noticed a real change. Thank you Jacynthe, I don't have enough words to tell you how much, thanks to your advice, your live streams, your products, you have already helped to change my life and in such a short time. I am not yet cured but it is progressing. My gratitude is astronomical. I finally see what I have been looking for for so long: a bright light at the end of what has been too long a tunnel. I will finally be able to live my life with what is deep in my heart, happiness. Thank you also Marie-Aimée for this precious listening that you provide and which makes all the difference in persisting on this logical path that I have taken with both feet towards well-being. Now that I have drawn on my inner strength, nothing will make me deviate from this path that I have chosen. Thank you… » - Johanne
